Good Afternoon!
Today is David’s last day! From baby to six year old—in what seems like such a short amount of time! We can’t wait to hear how your new school goes! Thank you for all of the memories over the last six years! 
Yesterday, in K/PREK1, we read ‘The Skin You Live In’ which dives into the topic of skin color. To start, we put all of our arms into the center of the group and talked about how our skin looks similar but pointed out the differences such as freckles and scars.
Today, we read ‘It’s Okay to Be Different’ by Todd Parr. We talked about things that make us different which sparked a great conversation!
Social Studies: K.3.6 Identify and compare similarities and differences in families, classmates, neighbors and neighborhoods, and ethnic and cultural groups.
In PREK2, children talked about their family dynamic and how many people are in their family. After their discussion, they signed their name under the following family options:
Mom, Dad, Brother; Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother; and Mom, Dad, Sister
We’re in the process of an art project that focuses on all 16 of our friends and the physical characteristics we all possess! We’re anxious to share the finished product when we’re done!
We had a terrific Wednesday and enjoyed some fantastic weather this morning!
